When Sini saw John, she was thrilled and immediately said, "John, let's go level me up!"
She'd been cooped up in the World-in-Hand for days, eager to test her mastery over the Power of the Nine Nether combined with John's Plunder talent. She couldn't wait to kill some enemies and grow stronger.
"Not so fast," John replied, shaking his head. He pointed to the seal in front of them and said, "This is a seal placed by the Lord God. See if you can break it."
"A Lord God's seal?" She was both surprised and intrigued, hurrying forward to examine it. Whoosh!
The moment she stepped into the spatial passage, a powerful force hit her, throwing her back. "What a strong power!" she exclaimed, visibly shocked. Although powerful, this force only served to block access to the Spirit Stone mine without causing harm.
John turned to her and asked, "Well, can you break it?"
Frowning, Sini focused, sensing the seal carefully before shaking her head. "Not yet. My Power of the Nine Nether is too weak right now. But with more strength, I think I could."
As long as there was a chance, John was willing to pursue it. He continued, "What do you need to strengthen your Power of the Nine Nether?"
Her eyes lit up, and she said eagerly, "With the Plunder talent, all I need is to kill enemies. And the more, the better."
John thought of the Hunters. With him to protect her, Sini would be safe.
To be extra cautious, he copied his god-level disguise talent onto Sini.
While this talent wouldn't increase her power, it was an invaluable life-saving skill.
"Alright, let's go hunt some Hunters," he said, summoning Chris back into the World-in- Hand before he and Sini left the snow mountain to search for Hunters.
Shadow Star was swarming with Hunters, and since John carried the Hunters' hatred mark, they didn't even need to actively seek them out.
All he had to do was show up in the wilderness, and hordes of Hunters would come after them.
"Remember, leave the hunters' brood mothers to me. You just focus on slaughtering the ordinary Hunters," he reminded Sini.
Killing the brood mothers would transfer the Hunters' hatred mark to Sini. John's hatred mark was so potent now that even his Disguise talent couldn't hide it, and he didn't want Sini to become their next target.
"Got it," Sini agreed readily.
She had no interest in the brood mothers; she was solely focused on slaughtering as many Hunters as possible to absorb their Plunder attributes and Shadow Power.
The Power of the Nine Nether that she wielded was unique-any force she acquired could be transformed into the Power of the Nine Nether, enhancing her strength.
Whoosh...
Black mist surged, spreading over the surrounding army of Hunters, carrying a chilling, murderous aura infused with eerie soul attacks.
The Hunters were defenseless against the mist unleashed by Sini, collapsing in waves.
With the Hunters' hatred mark on John continually drawing them in, they charged forward in endless waves, almost in a suicidal frenzy.
John barely needed to intervene; the majority of the Hunters were slaughtered by Sini alone.
-
For several months, the two roamed the wilderness. They occasionally encountered other Overseers and peak upper-tier gods from the Shadow Clan.
Not wanting to confront them head-on just yet, John hid as soon as he sensed their presence.
"John, I think my strength has grown enough," Sini said as she struck down the last Hunter in front of her and turned to him.
Over these months, they'd lost count of how many Hunters they'd slain. Sini had absorbed countless attributes, and their levels had also risen significantly.
John had now reached level 13,044.
But it was Sini who had seen the greatest gains, as she'd been the one to eliminate most of the Hunters.
"Let's go back to the snow mountain world." No longer waiting for nightfall, John used his Split Void ability to tear open a spatial passage, and the two arrived at the former site of the Immortal Herb Garden.
With the Immortal Herb Garden gone and the Shadow Clan soldiers withdrawn, the area had become a paradise for the Hunters.
John opened the passage to the snow mountain with ease, and as Sini looked tempted to keep slaughtering Hunters, he pulled her in with him into the snow mountain world.
Once again, he was obliterated, and his Lifesaver ability triggered to bring him back. "What are these forces?" John was stunned. The energies were so overwhelming that they ripped through the fabric of time and space with ease, rendering the laws of space and time useless for merging them.
John felt a flicker of despair. Time and space were his strongest laws, and if they couldn't serve as intermediaries, no other elemental law stood a chance.
But he refused to give up. "Wait...there's still Chaos Force!" A sudden realization struck him—perhaps he'd been
thinking too small. The individual laws of time and space weren't his strongest tools; Chaos
Force, the unified power derived from all these laws, was. Although he hadn't fully mastered Chaos Force yet, it was his last hope.
"Let's give it a try," he murmured to himself. This was his final chance. If Chaos Force failed,
he would have no choice but to abandon the attempt-for now.
With a thought, John summoned the various powers of law within him, merging them into Chaos Force, which began to concentrate around him.
He resumed his attempt to fuse the opposing energies of the snow mountain and Spirit Stone
mine.
Buzz!
This time, the two forces didn't explode. Instead, they entered his body, slowly rotating around the Chaos Force-one dark, one light; one yin, one yang-forming a Tai Chi symbol.
"A Tai Chi symbol!" John murmured, surprised as a realization began to dawn on him.
But then the Chaos Force began to tremble, devoured hungrily by the Tai Chi symbol, which caused the two forces to grow increasingly unstable and volatile.
His Chaos Force was still too weak to support the full operation of the Tai Chi symbol.
An explosion was imminent, and this time, the resulting blast would be even more
devastating.
Buzz!
At that moment, a dark, icy power entered his body, similar to the snow mountain's yin
energy but far more stable.
It was Sini's Power of the Nine Nether!
Surprised but with no time to dwell on it, John used the Power of the Nine Nether to stabilize
the Tai Chi symbol as best as he could.
But it still wasn't enough.
Just like his Chaos Force, Sini's Power of the Nine Nether was too weak.
Furthermore, its addition unbalanced the yin-yang harmony, accelerating the symbol's
collapse.
Just as John was on the brink of despair, a jade stone from within his World-in-Hand suddenly flew out, flooding him with an overwhelming surge of Chaos Force, stabilizing the Tai Chi
symbol.
It was the Chaos Creation Stone!
John was stunned; he'd thought the Chaos Creation Stone had already merged with his World- in-Hand and vanished. But here it was, pouring its boundless Chaos Force into him. Calmed by the stone's support, John focused his spirit, gradually absorbing and merging the
two opposing forces with the help of the Chaos Creation Stone and Sini's Power of the Nine
Nether.
"I see..." A profound understanding filled John's heart as he finally grasped the essence of what it meant to be an Overseer.
An Overseer didn't simply control a world-they created one.
Chaos Force was the primal source of all things, giving rise to the dual forces of yin and yang.
All things in the world had two sides: male and female, day and night...
